The next few weeks Laura was busy filling out forms for college and trying to work. Laura couldn't believe her birthday would be here in 2 short weeks. She had went to the doctor a month ago and got on birth control. She had big plans for her birthday. She grinned just thinking about it.
Mark came in and seen her at the computer as usual. "Your going to grow roots to that thing." He teased her. She grinned up at him. "Hey handsome." She said. She got off the computer and went over to give him a hug. "I haven't seen you 5 minutes all week." She said. "I know, I missed ya baby. He said. "ya hungry?' he asked. "Yea." She said. "I picked up some burgers on the way home." He said. They went out to the deck to eat. Laura caught him up on everything that had been going on that week. They finished eating and went back in. Laura followed Mark up to his bedroom. He went in to take a shower. She lay on the bed and waited for him. She was half asleep when Mark came out. Mark smiled. Poor little thing was so tired. Laura watched him. He was so hot. He had on sweats and nothing else, god he looked good. Mark walked over and lay on the other side of the bed. "What ya want for your birthday baby?" he asked. Laura still drowsy and thoughts full of him said the first thing that popped into her head. "You." Mark looked at her and grinned. Laura blushed and put the pillow over her face. "I just said that out loud didn't I." She groaned. Laura felt the pillow being lifted off her face. "Your so cute, little one." He said."And I just love it when you blush." Laura groaned and hit him with the pillow. "I suppose you know this means war." He said. He grabbed a pillow and whacked her. Laura threw several pillows at him and hit him in the head with another. Mark grabbed her and rolled over on her and pinned her arms. "Your going to pay for that." He kept her pinned and started tickling her. She was giggling and trying to get away but she couldn't. "Give up?" he asked. "Nope" she said. Mark resumed his tickling. She screamed. "Mark stop." She begged. "I give up." He let her up and she rolled over still laughing. Mark hauled her over to lie next to him. "Ya know I'm scheduled to go back on the road two days after your birthday." Mark said. "I know." Laura said. Laura laid there and traced circles on his chest with her finger. Mark could see she didn't want to talk about it so he let it go. "Ya should get to bed, Sweetie." He said. "Can I sleep in here with you? She asked. "Do you think that's a good idea?" Mark said. "I promise Ill behave, Ill leave your virtue intact." She said and started laughing. Mark laughed. "No really, I just want to be near you, I missed ya this week." Mark got up and turned off the lights. He got in the bed and pulled Laura over in his arms. Laura laid her head on his chest. "Goodnight love." Mark said. "Night." She said.
Laura and Jason dropped there paper work off at the college and took a look around campus. They had lunch there too. They went afterwards and sat in one of the picnic areas. Jason looked at Laura sprawled on the grass. She seemed preoccupied with something. "Are you okay?" Jason asked. "Yea." She said. "The last few days you seemed upset." He said. Laura didn't answer. Jason lay down next to her. "Hey talk to me." He said. "It's Mark." She said. "He's got to leave soon to go back to work." "I know your going to miss him Laura." He said. "Hey but ya still got me, I may be skinny, not as many tattoos, and I haven't killed as many people. But ill do in a pinch." He said. Laura still had her head down. He lifted her head and seen she was crying. "Laura don't cry." He said. He pulled her against him. She sobbed against his shoulder. "He's going to get back around all those beautiful women wrestlers and forget about me." Laura sobbed. "Laura you look ten times better than those bimbos. He's not dumb, he knows your worth 50 of those floozies." Jason said. "Now stop crying, you're wilting the few chest hairs I got." He joked. Laura looked up at him and laughed. "That's better." He said using his thumb to wipe her tears away. He got up and pulled her up. "Come on, I need ya to drop me off at your house to get my car. "I got to get ready. I got a hot date tonight." He said.
Laura dropped Jason off in the driveway and then left. She had to go in to work for a few hours. Jason looked at the front door and made up his mind and went up to it and knocked. Mark answered the door. "What's up Jason?" Mark knew Laura had to work, so he couldn't figure out what Jason wanted. "I need to talk to you." Jason said. "Come in." mark said. They went into the den and sat down. "Laura is very upset right now because you're leaving soon." Jason said. "She thinks you're going to hook up with one of them wrestling bimbos or a ring rat." "Jason…" Mark started. Jason held up his hand. "Let me finish. I care about Laura." Mark fixed him with a hard look. "Look man I know you could kill me. But I'm just letting you know, Laura is like my little sister. If you ever do anything to hurt her, I'll fuck your shit up." Mark looked at him in amazement. He knew this kid was scared to death of him. In that moment Jason earned his respect. "I hear what your saying Jason." Mark said. Jason got up. "I gotta go." He said. Mark nodded. When Jason got to his truck he slumped against it. He got out of there without getting his ass kicked, thank God.
Mark felt bad about Laura. He didn't want her worrying about him running around with other women. Hell all he wanted was her. Now all he had to do was convince her of that.
Laura came in from work and started dinner. She threw some steaks on the grill and made some potato salad. Mark walked in and grabbed her. He picked her up and set her on the counter and leaned between her legs. He pressed his lips to hers fiercely. Mark plunged his tongue into her mouth hard, over and over. He plunged his tongue in and out, then pulled back a little and nipped her bottom lip with her teeth, then soothed it by running his tongue over it. Laura moaned and grabbed his hair and forced his mouth down hard on hers. She pulled his tongue into her mouth and sucked on it. Mark pulled back breathing heavy. Her lips were swelled from him, but she was smiling. "What a nice way to say Hello." She grinned at him. Mark had wanted to show her how much he wanted her. He succeeded in working himself up too. He smiled at her. "I love you Baby." He said. "I love you too Mark." Not to much longer Laura thought and I will have you.
